<section id="start-the-app">
<h2>Start the app<a class="headerlink" href="#start-the-app" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>The CLI includes a live development server, so that you can run your app locally.</p>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><p>Open a terminal window</p></li>
<li><p>To navigate to your project workspace, run the following command:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nb">cd</span> /path/to/project/name
</pre></div>
</div>

<li><p>To run the app run:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>cpl start
</pre></div>
</div>
</li>
</ol>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cpl</span> <span class="pre">start</span></code> command launches the server, watches your source files, and restarts the app as you make chnages to thoses source files.</p>
<p>If your installation and setup was successful, you should see a output similar to the following:</p>
